Rooflights for Frome homes and buildings
SkylightCompany.uk covers Frome and the surrounding part of Somerset, from a single roof window in a loft to a glass link or a warehouse roof.
Holiday lets and second homes across the South West often want roof windows with blinds and remote opening for when the house is empty.
Frome is around 17 km from Bath, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Somerset, including the BA11 district.

Planning and building rules in England
In England a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development under Class C if it projects no more than 150 mm beyond the roof slope and sits no higher than the ridge. Listed buildings need listed building consent, flats have no householder permitted development rights, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights in some conservation areas.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.
